Weird, I know, but this is my one chance to get a salad as a meal in today, so I’m taking it. Leftovers from last night’s dinner made the prep super easy.

Yummy. I used up some leftover lemon citronette from yesterday’s dinner. Lunch was simply a bed of mixed greens, lots of garbanzo beans, a very juicy navel orange, a big fistful of cilantro, some quartered mushrooms, the zest from the orange, and some sliced shallot. I’d forgotten how much I love orange in salad.

Ah, this was good. My first citronette since starting this challenge. This salad is much lighter than some of my meals–perfect dinner since I had a burger with the kids for lunch…I love mint and lemon. I love grapes and walnuts. Toss some mushrooms in as delightful flavor sponges, and pile the bowl high with mixed baby greens–really perfect.
Day Nine: NASA Salad Bar Lunch
Posted in 100 Days of Salad on October 28, 2014| 2 Comments »
No pictures. I feel guilty counting this one, since I used blue cheese dressing I didn’t make. Field trip with the kids to the NASA Ames Research Center robotics lab today meant eating at the cafeteria, and coming home to tired to eat anything but leftovers.
So, a kitchen sink salad bar salad lunch at NASA was my only salad today. Mixed greens, garbanzo and kidney beans, shredded beets, cucumbers, a hard boiled egg, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, and tomatoes. With blue cheese dressing.
I’m definitely looking forward to a homemade salad tomorrow!

This was an experiment. My dad showed up with a gorgeous, ripe pineapple. I had baby kale in the fridge. My miso soup eating son provided me with half a block of savory firm tofu. Add avocado, mushrooms, rice wine vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil, and I was set. Yum. A little weird, but I really enjoyed the pineapple and tofu, and they worked well with the earthy baby kale.

Current guidelines for this time around are that there will be no weekend posts and any meal in a bowl on a bed of raw greens counts as a salad.
So, today I put my stir fry dinner in a bowl over a huge bed of raw spinach. The rest of the family is having brown rice, but I wanted to make sure to get my salad in for the day!
